hey, ive been asking around for video card suggestions for my new Dell 20" 2005FPW.. but now i have a new problem to solve(well not really a problem).. anyway.. im gonna have a new extra 15" LCD monitor on the side.. and id like to run DUAL monitors on my pc (IF POSSIBLE).. ive heard of this being done.. but i really dont know how to do it... the 15" is only gonna have a vga plug, but the 20" with be DVI.. so DO I NEED A CERTAIN VIDEO CARD TO RUN BOTH? or is it software that does it? ideally id like to use the 15" for Pallets in Photoshop and After Effects and what not.. i dont see a use for it in games.. so, if i could somehow switch it on and off when i needed it, that would be great.. any ideas? thanks to all who help..

It's done via the software, on a nvidia card you can set it up with nview display settings i would imagine it's done in a similar way with ATi cards via the software ;)
